We all live in a fast-paced world full of goals, checklists, and what’s-next. We forget to create space for what motivates us. Too often we forget what life is really about. Sure, paying the bills is important, keeping the house clean, making dinner, and all the other day-to-day chaos. But what about what and who we love?
We do all of the day-to-day activities for the people and things that we love. Which is great, but then we get so caught up in those activities that we have to do, that we forget about appreciating the very reason we are doing it in the first place.
Just do me a favor for one second and picture the layout of your home. You have all of the places for fulfilling your day-to-day needs…right? There’s the bedroom for sleeping, the bathroom for hygiene, and the kitchen & table for cooking/eating. You may have some extra rooms for various children and guests, or maybe you have a little home gym area to keep in shape. Most likely you have an office or desk area…the dreaded place of bills to be paid and paperwork to be filed.
Then there are some spaces with more zest to them that are for relaxing and entertainment. Such as, the living room with a couch in front of a TV or a pool/ porch area to hang out in. But then that’s it right? I basically just described your house. (Give or take a formal room here or there)
What about the place or space devoted to…you and your passions?!?! Where is your reading nook, home brewery, painting area, craft space, wood crafting shop, or drawing table? Maybe even a family area without electronics?? (The horror) The space that you can turn to on days like this:
Do you have a space in your house where you can create, craft, or be without a screen in front of you? If not, you may want to consider making time and space to create such a place in your home. Here are some examples of creative spaces:
Create A Space For What Motivates You
The next step would be to figure out how you can accomplish this without breaking the bank or making a very expensive trip to the store. Think of what purpose the space would serve, then google around a bit or maybe even check Pinterest. Think of what you can repurpose, and (most importantly) get inspired! Challenge yourself and see what you create!
Whether you are buying, selling, moving, or renovating take the time to reevaluate your living priorities. Maybe you will find that you need a fun new space to help you focus on doing some of the things that you enjoy most.
